Research Opportunities in Plasma Astrophysics
Stuart Bale, Amitava Bhattacharjee, Fausto Cattaneo +13
Major scientific questions and research opportunities are described on 10 unprioritized plasma astrophysics topics: (1) magnetic reconnection, (2) collisionless shocks and particle…
Laboratory evidence of dynamo amplification of magnetic fields in a turbulent plasma
P. Tzeferacos, A. Rigby, A. Bott +27
Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the Universe. Extragalactic disks, halos and clusters have consistently been shown, via diffuse radio-synchrotron emission and Faraday rotation me…
Numerical modeling of laser-driven experiments aiming to demonstrate magnetic field amplification via turbulent dynamo
P. Tzeferacos, A. Rigby, A. Bott +29
The universe is permeated by magnetic fields, with strengths ranging from a femtogauss in the voids between the filaments of galaxy clusters to several teragauss in black holes and…
Numerical simulations of strong incompressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
Joanne Mason, Jean C. Perez, Stanislav Boldyrev +1
Magnetised plasma turbulence pervades the universe and is likely to play an important role in a variety of astrophysical settings. Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) provides the simplest…
Extended Scaling Laws in Numerical Simulations of MHD Turbulence
Joanne Mason, Jean Carlos Perez, Fausto Cattaneo +1
Magnetised turbulence is ubiquitous in astrophysical systems, where it notoriously spans a broad range of spatial scales. Phenomenological theories of MHD turbulence describe the s…
Magnetic dynamo action in random flows with zero and finite correlation times
Joanne Mason, Leonid Malyshkin, Stanislav Boldyrev +1
Hydromagnetic dynamo theory provides the prevailing theoretical description for the origin of magnetic fields in the universe. Here we consider the problem of kinematic, small-scal…
